You will travel by tourist transportation from Cusco to Chinchero, a journey of approximately 45 minutes, while enjoying views of the Andes, traditional communities, and agricultural landscapes.

The first stop is Chinchero, an important Andean town known for its Inca heritage, colonial architecture, traditional textile production, and living culture. Accompanied by your professional guide, you will visit the archaeological area and learn about Chinchero’s historical importance during the Inca period. Depending on the confirmed route and opening conditions, the visit may also include views of the colonial church and surrounding terraces.
You will then visit a local textile center, where community artisans will demonstrate traditional techniques used to clean, spin, dye, and weave alpaca and sheep wool. This cultural experience provides an authentic introduction to the ancestral textile traditions of the Cusco region.

After Chinchero, the tour continues to Moray, one of the most distinctive archaeological sites in the Sacred Valley. Moray is famous for its impressive circular terraces built at different levels below the surrounding landscape.

Step 1: Check Availability
Click the BOOK NOW button to access our real-time availability calendar and booking platform, then select your preferred travel dates.

Step 3: Provide Traveler Information
Fill out the booking form with accurate details for every participant, including full name exactly as it appears on the passport, passport number, nationality, date of birth, WhatsApp number with country code, email address, hotel or accommodation in Cusco, and any special requests or relevant medical information. Accurate passenger data is essential, since Machu Picchu, train, and hotel tickets are issued based on this information.
Step 4: Choose Optional Upgrades
Depending on availability, you can add extra services to your reservation, such as a Vistadome train upgrade, Huayna Picchu Mountain entrance, Machu Picchu Mountain entrance, an upgraded hotel category in Machu Picchu Pueblo, or other available entrance and train upgrades.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Deposit and Booking Confirmation
A non-refundable deposit of USD 180 per person is required to initiate your reservation. This deposit covers the purchase of the Machu Picchu entrance ticket and train tickets. These services are issued for a specific traveler and travel date, and are generally non-transferable, non-changeable, and non-refundable.
Your reservation is considered fully confirmed only once the required payment has been received, Machu Picchu, train, and hotel availability has been verified, and our reservations team has issued written final confirmation.
Cancellations and Refunds
The USD 180 deposit per person is non-refundable under any circumstance, as it covers the purchase of non-refundable entrance and train tickets.
If you cancel after paying the full tour price, the remaining balance may be refunded, minus the USD 180 deposit per person, services already purchased or confirmed (including the Machu Picchu Pueblo hotel), card-processing fees, bank charges, currency-conversion costs, and any other non-recoverable expenses.
Any Machu Picchu or train tickets already issued remain valid only for the original passenger and confirmed date, in accordance with the regulations of the corresponding authorities and service providers.
Date Changes
Requests to change your travel dates are subject to availability of Machu Picchu entrance tickets, train seats, hotel accommodation, guides, and transportation. Because previously issued tickets generally cannot be modified or refunded, changing your tour date requires purchasing new Machu Picchu and train tickets. As a result, a new USD 180 deposit per person will apply, and any difference in the total tour price must be covered by the traveler.
Name and Passport Information
Full names must exactly match the traveler’s passport. Please double-check all information before submitting your booking form. If you renew or replace your passport after booking, notify us immediately — updating the passport number may be possible, subject to the regulations of the train company and Machu Picchu authorities.

Payment can be made through our online payment platform, in person at our Cusco office, in cash (US dollars or Peruvian soles), or by debit or credit card, subject to the applicable processing fee. Failure to pay the balance within this timeframe may result in the suspension or cancellation of any services not yet issued.
Optional Upgrades
Huayna Picchu, Machu Picchu Mountain, Vistadome trains, hotel upgrades, and other optional services are subject to availability. Once an optional ticket or upgrade has been purchased, its cost becomes non-refundable and generally cannot be transferred to another traveler or date.
Train, Entrance, and Hotel Schedules
Train departure times, Machu Picchu entrance times, assigned circuits, and hotel check-in/check-out schedules depend on availability at the time your reservation is processed. Machu Picchu Team may adjust transportation, train schedules, or hotel arrangements as needed to align with your confirmed entrance time. Any changes will be communicated to you before the start of the tour.
